Contribution to VCE/VCAL/Vocational Major

VCE/VCAL/VM: Certificate III qualifications provide credit at VCE Units 1 to 4 level. Each completed 90 nominal hours of training provides one VCE unit of credit. Credit accrues in the following sequence: Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 3 and 4 up to a maximum of six VCE units.

ATAR: This subject does not have a study score and therefore cannot contribute towards the student’s primary four. Students who receive a Units 3 & 4 sequence through block credit recognition may be eligible for a 10% increment towards their ATAR (10% of the lowest result of your primary four scaled studies). Please note the student must already have English and three other fully scored VCE/VET subjects to create the primary four. VCAL and the VCE Vocational Major do not contribute towards an ATAR.

Information Session

Details regarding the student and parent information sessions for all the VET courses will be published on the IMVC website in August and Information Booklets added.
